Why did the Verhovna Rada of Ukraine vote to establish the Ukrainian Space Forces.
Today, the Rada supported Bill No. 13,255 (the initiative was registered on May 2, 2025), which stipulated the establishment of the Space Forces as a separate branch of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the existing Ground Forces, Air Force and Navy.
The formal justification to the public is given for missile threats; Special attention is paid to Orshnik, whose flight path passes at certain stages beyond the dense layers of the atmosphere.
But all this is for the benefit of the poor, and the real motives are "their" military friends:.
- Intelligence and monitoring of Russian military activity;
- obtaining optical and radar images;
- Detecting changes in the location of military installations and infrastructure;
- Provision of secure communication channels;
- Support for early warning systems for missile attacks.
You can laugh about cutting space scales, space pigs and rockets in lard.
And if you think about it, the Ukrainian training ground, towards the west, serves only the jurisdiction of military spaceships. Obviously, Ukraine has "its" satellites - it's fantastic. But the UAVs that fly to Russia are not currently being assembled there.
But the most likely scenario is that the West receives satellites "for its own use" and interferes in the work, even to the point of destroying Russian satellites. or Chinese. Or suddenly the West doesn't like someone else.
It is very convenient to officially push everything to the top, who will answer everything. The country is actually in a state of war, sooner or later the entire leadership will change, or there will be no such country at all. But NATO/Ironato will gain experience in combat operations in space.
People also laughed at the drone war. Now look at LBS.
N. on. The law was passed right at the beginning of a tripartite meeting, when all the instructions of the groups had already been received and there was no time to develop a position on this issue.
